After being expelled from the mansion, I changed the dynasty by writing novels.

Chapter 74 Newspapers allow you to know what's happening in Bianjing without leaving home.

"Ruan Xin! Ruan Xin!" A woman rushed up to the attic.

The attic was dark and damp, with no light penetrating it. There was only a low wooden bed and a table in the attic.

Only by looking closely can you see that there is a person lying on the bed. But when this person sits up, you will be surprised to find that she is so thin!

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe her as extremely thin.

The woman felt her heart bleed when she saw the girl's sluggish reaction and her lifeless, emotionless eyes.

"Mother, what's wrong? Why are you in such a panic?" the woman said weakly.

"Look!" The woman who was called "Mother" didn't have time to explain and handed her the newspaper. Only then did she realize that the attic was too dark, so she hurriedly looked for a tinderbox and candles.

Perhaps because the woman had been in the attic for a long time, she had already adapted to the darkness and could see the words on the paper without lighting a candle.

A moment later, the woman's hands began to tremble, and the thin paper trembled along with her.

She covered her mouth to prevent herself from crying out.

The woman was a little anxious, so she lit a candle and saw her daughter sitting on the bed, crying silently.

“My son! You only have a common gynecological inflammation, not some incurable disease! The paper says it's caused by hygiene problems in women, and you should pay attention to hygiene down there. The paper also says you can use herbs like Atractylodes macrocephala and Poria cocos to make a decoction…”

Before she could finish speaking, the woman, holding the emaciated girl, said, "The paper also said that this is not a difficult thing to talk about, and that as long as it is treated as soon as possible, it will get better quickly. Now many people know that this disease was not caused by having affairs with other men. Daughter, you have finally dispelled the rumors."

"Waaah, finally, finally..." The woman hugged the woman and cried, remembering how her husband misunderstood her and drove her out of the house. When she returned to her parents' home, her father disliked her and wanted to drive her away as well. Fortunately, she had her mother, but her mother also had to live according to her father's wishes. She had no choice but to lock her in the attic. Originally, she thought she would end her life like this, but she saw a glimmer of hope again.

This tragedy was caused by a lack of information, but with the widespread availability of newspapers, many women no longer feared it and were able to accept it calmly.

The day Xueting recovered and left home, the rumors were dispelled, and a group of women were still sitting under the willow tree outside her house at the alley entrance.

They are keen to gossip about other people's families, and they can easily forget about the rumors they spread about others, completely unaware of how much it takes for the person involved to dispel the rumors.

And these gossipy women were still talking about other people's affairs, as if they had witnessed them firsthand.

The widespread availability of newspapers led to the rise of a number of female doctors.

Seeing the woman's needs, many people began to study the pathology in this area, and based on the Chinese medicine prescription published by Ye Yuwu, they studied more specific medicinal effects and were able to prescribe medicines that were appropriate for the symptoms.

And so a wave of hygiene awareness began.

"Manager Ye, you're amazing!" Ye Yuwu was drinking tea when Bai Zunxing suddenly walked over, looking at her with bright eyes, as if she had come over to say this to her on purpose.

Ye Yuwu almost spat out the tea in her mouth. She asked worriedly, "Zunxing, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Bai Zunxing was sitting opposite her at some point, holding his head in his hands and looking at her with a smile, as if she were some kind of hot commodity, like a lovesick fool. "I'm not sick, I just suddenly realized that I really like you."

"No, I don't want to yet!" You can guess what she doesn't want to do, anyway, Ye Yuwu hugged herself with a frightened expression.

"Manager Ye, you are the second person I admire, besides Mr. Wuming."

Ye Yuwu breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully I was just overthinking it.

However, her heart tightened again; this young girl didn't know that Mr. Wuming was also her.

If Bai Zunxing found out, her heart would probably be shattered. After all, this girl complains about Mr. Wuming every day and never stops expressing her admiration for him. It's best not to say anything for now.

Anyway, Wuming kept his disguise quite well; apart from Uncle Li and a few people from the book-editing department, no one could guess it.

"Manager Ye, how did you discover that woman's illness? And how did you know about those prescriptions? And what about hygiene issues..." Bai Zunxing rattled off all her questions in one breath.

Ye Yuwu couldn't possibly say that she relied on the search system in her head!

"I saw it in a book before." If she didn't explain it this way, this girl wouldn't let her off the hook. Ye Yuwu was on the verge of tears.

"Is today's field trip over?"

The implication is, why aren't you busy yet?

Bai Zunxing pouted, "Don't even mention it. Today, Sister Liang went on a secret visit to the south of the city, but she was discovered before she could get any information out of her."

"How is it now?"

"Fortunately, I was saved by Young Master Guan Yan, but I can't conduct a secret investigation today. I'll have to wait a few days to see."

They've been investigating the female corpse case in the south of the city recently, and they suspect that the higher-ups are intentionally suppressing the news. As soon as Liang Suxin appeared, she was targeted.

The two of them ran in opposite directions, and as a result, everyone ran after Liang Suxin.

Bai Zunxing was planning to come back for help, but she didn't expect that Liang Suxin would return soon after she arrived.

She heard that Guan Yan had saved her and even led her on a shortcut so that she could return to the bookstore before Bai Zunxing.

Guan Yan had been injured at some point, and Sister Liang was applying medicine to him.

Feeling bored and worried about getting in the way, she came out and happened to run into Ye Yuwu making tea by herself, so she went up to "confess her feelings".

"A lone man and a lone woman..."

"They are in the lobby on the first floor; everyone is there."

"broad daylight……"

He only injured his wrist.

"Under the clear sky and bright earth..."

"she……"

"Go ahead and get busy!" Ye Yuwu interrupted him.

"But I don't know what to do? Should I go check on how their application of the medicine is going?"

"Wait a minute!" This girl has no sense of propriety. "Let's have some tea!" Ye Yuwu poured tea and handed it to her.

Huh? Bai Zunxing scratched his head and took the teacup.

Didn't you tell me to get busy?

"This is utter nonsense! This kind of story is a cancer, poisoning the women of Bianjing!"

Inside the Imperial Academy, a bearded man dressed in a blue and white robe sat cross-legged on a cushion; this man was the Director of Studies.

"Such low-class stuff, yet several copies have been found even in the Imperial Academy recently!" A lean, middle-aged man, the supervisor, took out several books from his pocket and examined them closely; all of them were titled "Starfall Rain."

"Not to mention the Imperial Academy, these stories are everywhere in Bianjing! Our Imperial Academy is relatively better off, since it's mostly men, so fewer people read them. But the women outside are practically bewitched." These words were spoken by the school director.

Xuezheng wanted to cry when he talked about this, because his wife and daughter loved listening to storytelling every day, and almost all of his money went to teahouses and theaters. He didn't even have money left to drink alcohol.

When her daughter reached the age to be introduced to potential husbands, she found that she didn't like any of them and openly told them to their faces that the men were ugly and deformed.

Why should we only judge a man by his looks? Of course, we should judge him by his character and talent!

This really worried him.
